Krillbite Studio’s atmospheric indie game Among the Sleep is coming to retail on July 15 in Europe, and July 26 in North America for PC and PS4. The crowdfunded horror game released digitally on the Xbox One just last week, no word yet on whether or not the platform will also be getting a retail release. On the surface, Among the Sleep tells a story about a two-year old protagonist and the frightening adventure he and his sentient stuffed teddy bear embark on one stormy night to find his missing mother. Beneath its quirky premise lurks some weighty themes about mental illness, and the impact it can have on a struggling family.
The studio’s next game, Mosaic, was announced in April. It’s completely unlike their last game in just about every way, with the exception of its art style, which is uniquely charming, albeit in a different way, and its shared willingness to tackle tough themes with its narrative, such as the expectations one might have for adulthood versus the reality of adulthood.
Mosaic releases in 2017 for PC, Mac and Linux.
